Super Sunday left Sky Sports salivating after both Manchester clubs completed the double over their north London counterparts to end the gameweek. With the FA Cup next weekend, we’ve a nine day wait until the next lot of fixtures but, for just now, it’s time to analyse the key statistics from our Members area and make a stab at the destination of the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…

Hi guys,

This look OK for now? Not a WC team.

Lindegaard
Richards, Smalling, Williamson
Silva, Valencia, Dempsey, Bale, Sessegnon (vc)
Aguero, RVP(c)

Subs: Sturridge, Caulker, Shotton, Vorm

Will rotate either Sturridge, Dempsey or Sessegnon until Ba is back, Ba in for Sturridge and then sub Dempsey or Sessegnon each week.

cheers!

Fellow ABUs:

What's the party line for why United won today? I'm thinking that Arsenal should have had a penalty for Smalling pulling back Walcott, when he got injured.

Any better?

Hi, was wondering what your thoughts were on this WC attacking line up:

Bale, Silva, Valencia, Dempsey, Dyer
RVP, Fletcher, Adebayor

I know Spurs have tough fixtures but surely Adebayor is likely to score at least some goals.

I would have 1.9 million in the bank and could use it upgrade Fletcher to Ba (when he is back) or Sturridge.

I am worried about not having Aguero but already have Kompany and Silva as Man. City coverage.

Team for next week:

Sorensen

BAE Enrique Simpson

Silva Bale Dempsey Sess

Rooney RVP Sturridge

Is it worth wildcarding tonight...only worry is that Rooney doesn't play versus Stoke, as he has Liverpool prior and Fergie may give him a lil break to freshen him up for Chelsea. If I wildcarded, would only really bring in Kompany for BAE (who has Wigan argh!), Aguero -> Rooney and Mignolet -> Ruddy..*scratches head*

Any help appreciated.
